Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Pistil of a cinquefoil flower, SEM
Pistil of a flower. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of part of the pistil of a cinquefoil flower (Potentilla sp.). The pistil is the female reproductive part of a flower, comprising one or more carpels. Each carpel is made up of a stigma (tip, dark orange) borne on a style (shaft, light orange). Pollen, the male sex cells of a flowering plant, lands on the stigma and burrows down through the style to reach the ovary at the styles base. It then fertilises the ovum there, forming a seed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a cinquefoil flower's pistil, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The pistil, which serves as the female reproductive organ of the flower, is composed of one or more carpels. In this image, we can observe a section of the pistil in stunning detail. The vibrant colors added to this SEM image enhance our understanding of its structure. At the tip of each carpel lies the stigma, depicted here in a dark orange hue. Connected to it is the style, portrayed as a light orange shaft. This stylized representation allows us to appreciate how pollen interacts with these components during fertilization. Pollen grains, representing male sex cells within flowering plants, land on the stigma and travel down through the style towards their ultimate destination: the ovary located at its base. It is within this ovary that fertilization occurs and seeds are formed. By capturing such microscopic details with precision and artistry, Science Photo Library provides us with an opportunity to marvel at nature's complexity on an unseen scale. This photograph not only highlights botanical wonders but also emphasizes how scientific exploration can reveal hidden beauty in even seemingly ordinary objects like flowers.
